The Way We Get By

[Verse 1]

We get high in backseats of cars

We break into mobile homes

We go to sleep to "Shake Appeal"

Never wake up on our own

[Chorus]

And that's the way we get by

It's the way we get by

Aw, that's the way we get by

It's the way we get by

[Verse 2]

We go out in stormy weather

We rarely practice discern

We make love to "Some Weird Sin"

We seek out the taciturn

[Chorus]

And that's the way we get by

It's the way we get by

Aw, that's the way we get by

It's the way we get by

Well, that's the way we get by

It's the way we get by, it's the way

And that's the way we get by

That's the way we get by

[Verse 3]

We found a new kind of dance in a magazine

Tried it out, it's like nothing you ever seen

You sweet talk like a cop and you know it

You bought a new bag of pot, said, "Let's make a new start"

[Chorus]

And that's the way to my heart

It's the way to my heart

And that's the way we get by

It's the way we get by

And that's the way we get by

It's the way we get by, it's the way

Well, that's the way we get by

That's the way we get by

[Verse 4]

We get high in backseats of cars

We put faith in our concerns

Fall in love to "Down on the Street"

We believe in the sum of ourselves, I said

[Chorus]

That's the way we get by

It's the way we get by

Aw, that's the way we get by

It's the way we get by

And that's the way we get by

It's the way we get by, it's the way

And that's the way we get by

That's the way we get by
